Jul 19, 2008 Poured very black with a cola like head. Creamy roasted mocha coffee in aroma. Flavor was identical to the aroma. I almost felt like I had a coffee in my hand. It’s surprisingly light on the palate. Very carbonated. A nice brew.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very dark ruby-brown with an average size diminishing frothy tan head. Very nice aroma of toasted caramel, vanilla, chocolate and toffee -- I love it! Smooth flavour of roasted caramel malt, coffee, toffee, vanilla and some hops in the finish -- all very well balanced. Medium bodied. It’s surprising (to me) how much I like this -- very good stuff.

Jul 16, 2008 This is a hugely vanilla tasting and creamy feeling stout. Not overly burnt-malt/roasty tasting, letting all the oak barrel flavors come through. Really bangin’ beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wineshop Downtown Charlottesville. Bottled May 5, 2008. Dark brown pour with a medium quickly disappearing head. Vanilla is strong in the aroma with wood and roasted malt notes. Bitter roasted malt aroma with a hint of vanilla. Medium body, silky mouthfeel.
